We decided to play tennis Saturday morning, and of course as soon as we got to the courts, it started POURING. So we were just going to wait out the rain. As the saying goes, if you don't like the weather in Florida, just wait 5 minutes.
Well, apparently, my girls can't wait 5 minutes, lol, so they decided to play in the rain. It did eventually stop, and I joined them for an hour or so.
Then, later, they walked back to the park (this is the summer of independence for them - they are loving it!) to play some basketball. Notice now how it's sunny??
The rain kept at bay, so I could go for my nightly walk. I love this time. I take 30 minutest to go for a walk and listen to my audiobook.
I found a new pair of shorts that I LOVE. I will buying these in all the colors, but I'm currently obsessed with these neon yellow ones!
Morning sunrises, still going strong - there's something about starting your mornings like this.
and trying out new hairstyles on the girls. My girls have the THICKEST and longest hair ever, and they HATE putting their hair up in ponytails. I just don't get it! So, my thought is if I do fun hairstyles, they'll want to put their hair up.
Sunday, Autumn had a birthday party for a friend at the North County pool, so naturally the other girls and I hung out too - I swam laps in the lanes, and the girls played around in the lanes.
We're all a little sunkissed and a little blonder :)
Ok - so since it's Monday, I'll be doing a weekend recap AND a meal planning post.
I was doing really good with meal planning, until the school year started, even though I STILL meal planned each month (yes, I do a monthly meal plan, so that I only need to do it every few weeks. It's a game changer!)
I have them planned for "days," but I don't always do them on those days. Sometimes I don't even make them in that week - I just circle them on my monthly menu so I know I can add them to the next month's menu. You'll find the links for the recipes below
1. Grilled Mahi - We've been using our grill A LOT. The girls used to hate grilled food because it looked "burnt" but they're realizing it's not burnt, it's flavor!
2. Loaded Nachos - A SkinnyTaste recipe. I just love some loaded nachos!
3. Tortilla Encrusted Chicken - Another new SkinnyTaste recipe. I usually really like their recipes. If you try this one, let me know what you think.
4. Sweet & Sour Shrimp Rice Bowls - This is a new one, but it uses already make salad mix, so I'm always game for a quick and easy recipe
5. Crabcakes - this is such an easy recipe using StoveTop Stuffing. Not the healthiest, in terms of whole foods, but it's always good!
And here's what I prepped for my breakfast this morning
Sweet potato
onion
sausage
paprika
tumeric
S & P
Then each day, I'll sauté spinach and cook an egg to put on top. It's SO GOOD
One of my go-to snacks this week - it's like a pina colada yogurt!
vanilla yogurt (your favorite - this one is my new favorite right now!)
dried pineapple
coconut
cinnamon
walnuts
